You know you have a problem when you are less than an hour away from giving up FB (and pinte.rest) til Easter...and you are feeling quite anxious!

Eek!

I've given up other things but these two things are causing the most anxiety for me.

Which means it's a good thing I'm giving them up.

[incase you didn't know, for Catholics and some Christians, the 40 days leading up to Easter are known as Lent and we offer up or sacrifice something we love/enjoy/like to better prepare for Easter... [inanutshellthatswhatsup].

Anyways...I'll update more on how this not so great month as looked up a bit (by the grace of God and the amazing support of my dh) but just wanted to see/ask if anyone else was giving things up that made them anxious this Lenton season.

Yes, I am giving up everything on the internet that is not IF blogs or Catholic stuff, and all TV unless it's something my husband wants to watch. I am home during the day, so I usually have the TV on in the background while I work, or I'll hulu a desperate housewives while I eat lunch. So, I'm ripping that all out of my life, and I'll take up some holy reading. Not sure what yet. I'm going to e-mail my favorite priest to see if he has any recommendations.

I am so impressed with you and others giving up FB! I'm not sure I could do that. I'm giving up 40 bags of stuff cluttering our home and my life. It sort of freaks me out to think about how much that will be, but it will be good in the long run.

I'm giving up facebook as well...and I deleted the app off of my phone so I wasn't tempted to go on at work today. But then, of course, as soon as I get home and turn on my computer, without even being aware of it, I had gone to the facebook site and logged in. As soon as I logged in, I realized what I had done- but this just made me realize how much I need to give facebook up! So yes, I feel your anxiety!

About me:

I am a Catholic woman who is madly in love with her husband (5 years), struggling with PCOS and beyond thrilled and (still) shocked that on 6/2/12 we received our first ever BFP...just a week before our 5 year anniversary!!!.
